RE: Zen and the Cube - Sunday Funday with a Dash of Philosophy
I loved that photo, what a simple way to explain such a complicated issue. And you have certainly made a very good attempt to explain this wordless knowledge.
I wonder if you have read Eckhart Tolle's books? I happened to read his book way back in 2008 for the first time and i did understand a lot of things on an intellectual level. But it was only recently, in the past 2-3 years that I've cone know the truth that he was trying to share in it. I had to go through hell before i could know the truth of these things but well, as Rumi wrote, you have to die before you die to really get to know it.
Oh thats a very kind comment @sanaaz thank you for acknowledging that! I do attempt to keep things as simple as possible. Not because the steemit community isn't intelligent....far far from it. But because it takes few words to express simple truth.
Yes, I have read a few Tolle books, amongst many other great teachers of wisdom and deep understanding, and enjoyed them. Glad you found benefit within their pages too. It's a funny thing how it takes time for words of wisdom to percolate through our many layers, how we can grasp the meaning intellectually but the truth of the words takes longer to penetrate deeply and resonate at a different level. For me this is the difference between a mental understanding and an integrated innerstanding.
I am sorry to hear of your suffering but I do know that we die to be reborn and as Rumi noted, the cracks in the heart are where the light can enter in. You are brave to honour yourself first and foremost by not giving up and having the courage to face YOURSELF.
Very grateful to have you share your thoughts here and I will welcome the next time our steemit paths cross again...in the meantime I hope this image will inspire you and bring joy ❤️
I agree with everything you've written and thank you for your kind response. It truly is a pleasure to come across a fellow traveller on this path.
When kindred souls meet...they KNOW each other. Glad to know you @sanaaz and wishing you fruitful and awakened full steem ahead😇❤️⭐️
